Funny thing about gardening - especially vegetable gardening, you always think you need to try something out just to see what happens. This year, decided to test out dehydrating yellow squash. Now I don't have a dehydrator, I use the gas oven so when you read about dehydrating in the oven, that is because I don't have enough counter space for any more kitchen gadgets!
Anyway, dehydrated this squash back in June, and I elected to not blanch it first, I will next time. Put it into a pot of hamburger soup (everything from the fridge, plus some burger!) and I tossed in a bag of this dehydrated squash. Was PRETTY darn good! I do have to admit the skin was a little tough, I probably should have broke it into smaller pieces and I think the blanching would have helped too. But all in all - had nothing to lose and gained a little knowledge - not a bad day at all!
